Made it exactly as directed and it tasted great. Hubby loved it and asked me to make the sauce to put on other things often. (don't miss adding the ginger to the sauce as it isn't listed with the rest of the ingredients, just in the directions) The pork was perfectly crispy and delicious. My only complaint is that it is definitely greasier than I'm used to, and I would love to find a way to make it in the oven, maybe using Pam to get it to crisp. Has anyone tried that? My chops were thin, about 1/3 inch, so they would cook at fairly high heat in a short time.
